Finding Family Movie

Finding Family is a realistic dramatic film intended to encourage families to consider fostering older children and sibling groups.

Log line:

A horse trainer and her husband want to adopt a baby through foster care. Foster care, however, convinces them to foster three troubled teens including a boy with a history of animal abuse.

In addition to seeking online and theatrical distribution, the film will be given free to foster agencies to encourage people to consider fostering older children and sibling groups. All proceeds will be donated by our fiscal sponsor, CascadiaNow!, to non-profit organizations that benefit older foster kids.

CascadiaNow! is a 501(3)c non-profit organization. All donation to Finding Family Movie are tax deductible.

My grandparents wanted to put us older kids in foster care and adopt my baby sister because they thought she was the only one who hadn’t been damaged by our life style.

— Daniel Kilby (Founder of the Young Entrepreneur's Club, Former Foster Child)

This foster mom got into foster care for the stipend that she got for each kid she had in her house.... and any opportunity she had se would take the allowances we got from the state too.

— Daniel Kilby (Founder of the Young Entrepreneurs' Club, Former Foster Child)

I’ve seen near miraculous things happen when these kids can live in a sober and non threatening environment...they start to develop closeness and that’s what so many of them are yearning for.

— Mark Weinstein (Retired Social Worker)

I worked at the Griffin Home for Sexual Offenders. This sounds a lot worst than it was. Most of the kids there just had their needs mixed up and when they were able to meet their needs in giving ways and started to make contact with their own creativity wonderful things happened.

— Mark Weinstein (Retired Social Worker)

There was never a chronic case were alcohol wasn’t involved. If someone is hooked on cocaine or heroine you can be sure there would have been some alcohol too along the way.

I always will miss those kids. It [working with them] was vibrant because they were learning.— and not the ABCs— they were learning things they needed to know to have a life.
